Chicken Pulao is a famous recipe of India which is quite easy to make and it tastes delicious. This Chicken Pulao recipe is made in one pot which makes the dish more flavorful because both the chicken and the rice are going to get cooked in the same vessel and all the flavors from the chicken are infused into the rice and the rice tastes absolutely wonderful. In this recipe the chicken is well seasoned first and then added to the rice to impart nice taste and flavor.

A perfect recipe should have individual grains of rice and should not be sticking to one another,the ratio of rice to water is very important to make prefect pulao, lets see how to make this simple and easy chicken Pulao.

Once the onions turns golden add chopped tomato and cook for few minuted until soft. Then add the marinated chicken pieces and cook for 5-6 minutes.

Step 4)

Once the chicken is half done add the soaked basmati rice (rinse the rice in water for 3 times and soak for 20 - 30 minutes, drain the water completely before adding the rice) . Mix it well with the chicken pieces .

Step 5) Water:

The ratio of rice to water is 1:1.5 so for 2 cups of rice we will need 3 cups of water. Also add required salt, mint leaves and coriander leaves mix it once . Cover and cook until all the water has been absorbed by the rice or until the chicken and rice are fully cooked.

If you are using a pressure cooked then cook for 1 whistle on a medium heat.

Step 6) Chicken Pulao:

Once the rice is fully cooked and you start to smell the nice aroma of the pulao turn off the heat and gently and slowly with a flat spoon fluff the rice.

That's it our Chicken pulao recipe is ready to be enjoyed with Raitha. This is really simple to make and the flavor from the rice and chicken makes the mouth to water. Do try this recipe and please share your feedback with us. Happy Cooking !!!

Notes:

Always use chicken with bones to get nice taste.

If you are cooking in pressure cooker then cook for 1 whistle.

If you don't like adding tomatoes then you can skip, instead add juice of half lemon.

Use medium sized chicken pieces (little smaller than the one which we use for making chicken biryani)

Cooked Chicken pulao today and it came out delicious and awesome . Only want to highlight that when the chicken was added to the spices, it oozed out abit of juices so when adding rice and water, the water was adjusted accordingly. Thank you for the step by step instruction. It was most helpful. I will try your other recipes as I go along. Best wishes!
